I’m extroverted as I’ve posted on your FB page. But I shudder at the thought of going out on NYE (or Hogmanay) as we call it in Scotland). Being out dancing and meeting people is great – but the journey home in the cold is awful! Believe me – you’re not missing much by snuggling up with a book if you live somewhere cold.

I had radiotherapy treatment on my vocal chords in 2018 which hindered my power of speech for some considerable time. Hence I’ve had a more introverted lifestyle hoisted on me. It’s been great! Lovely times spent with one friend or two at a time, listening and finishing conversations before a new person arrives and things are derailed. I don’t think I’ll ever stop being an extrovert, but I have appreciated being on the other side. 😊
